David Ruffin I Wish It Would Rain Lyrics

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.
A girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future. My life is filled with gloom, so day after day, I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange,
But I wish it would rain.
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain.)
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hurts so badly, I wanna go outside.
It's a lovely day, but everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry. Listen.
I gotta cry, 'cause crying eases the pain. Aw, yeah. (Crying, crying, crying.)
People, this hurt I feel inside--words could never explain.
I just wish it would rain.
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain.)
Oh, let it rain. Rain, rain, rain.
Oh, how I wish that it would rain.
Ooooh, baby. Let it rain.
Aw, yeah. (Let it rain.) Let it rain.

Day in, day out, my tear stain stays; They're pressed against the window pane.
My eyes searched the skies desperately for rain, 'cause raindrops can hide my teardrops and no one would ever know, but I'm crying, crying when I go outside. (Crying, crying, crying.)
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would rain.
Oh, how I wish that it would rain.
Oooooh, baby.
Let it rain. Let it rain.
I need raindrops to disguise the tears in my eyes.
(Rain, rain, rain, rain.)
Oh, oh, oh, let it rain.
(Let it rain.) Aw, yeah, yeah. Listen. I'm a man that's about to cry. Did it rain from the sky.
Let it rain. Let it rain.
